@Eric_Erins Taking the day after a holiday is a goated strat. The Friday before everyone is chill and most people take the day off so if you work it’s relaxed. Tuesdays are always the worst days back.

Taking the 147 home after work before 5 wondering if any of the hundreds of people I’m passing posted up on the lakefront just don’t have jobs or….

@greenfieldjohn @RaymondALopez And it’s slightly blurry so he’s had a few drinks before driving back.

And, fittingly, @RaymondALopez's vision of a Chicago "still worth fighting for" is an image with no people, just a bunch of cars.

You’re still worth fighting for, Chicago!

@sslight9 @GreenPlusAnE Downsize to a smaller house. Bigger houses are better suited for growing families than old people.

@genocidalgirl This shit happens in America. We just have better regulations and don’t have the density otherwise brightline would have a higher kill rate

Its scary how young men now are physically stuck at 14 years old when they turn 18 due to lack of testosterone and late bloomerisms,while girls already look like theyre already 25 years old by 17 due to the estrogenic chemicals in our food and water.

@DukeHerndon The stark physical difference between young men and young women of the same age is severely understated. Relationships with significant age gaps are very obviously biologically advantageous.

@chicagobars Empty Storefront project is extremely dumb. They link policy failures with just nationwide chains shutting down.
English
This is possibly his dumbest Chicago empty storefront masterpiece ever.
Yeah, Chicago does have brick & mortar retail challenges but a mid chain steak place in a suburban mail closing down is a suburban mall REIT investing warning sign not a Chicago problem.

EMPTY CHICAGO AREA STOREFRONT PROJECT: I am posting daily empty retail & restaurant space as businesses leave at a high rate. I blame massive property taxes, 10.50% sales tax, high state income tax, poor schools, high crime, retail theft, lack of jobs, high minimum wage, declining population, high cigarette & gas tax, overregulation, bag tax, traffic, government corruption, pension mess, & bad public policy. Follow on Twitter. @publicpolicyman #EmptyStorefrontProject #Chicago

@stupoditty @phonybone @JacksonFromTwit Dude this looks miserable. The easiest way to get there too.
English
@phonybone @JacksonFromTwit Honestly it’s not too bad if you take public transportation it’s like two busses to get there

@paleonormie Baseball is rapidly gaining popularity.
Tickets are cheap compared to the NFL and outside/summer coded compared to NBA stadiums
Good sport to not pay attention to and just sit and talk and take pictures which is woman coded.

@JihadalHaqq I’m a fan of ketchup and sure it can go with eggs, but ketchup on rice is actually heinous. The rice has no distinct texture or flavor so it’s the equivalent of just eating ketchup and bread.
English
I don't doubt that if ketchup was invented by someone Chinese people wouldn't hesitate to praise its flavor & would stop giving extremely theatrical displays of disgust when someone puts it on their eggs and rice

The Art of Pizza would beg to differ

Market failure: almost no slice shops sell Chicago deep dish pizza. To get a slice of the good stuff you have to wait for 45 min- 1 hour in a cracked leather booth listening to smooth 80s hits. I mean, it’s always worth it, but still…

@Theo47102867 Hot bars are proof that even if these concepts existed in America, most people would choose the more expensive slop drive thru/bowl.

These exist all over nyc also

@typeclonghouse It's a very white lower/middle class thing to do. Going out with other Asians or Indians they only order water. But then white people have their preferred beverage to order when going out.
English
Does anyone else feel like it's a *new* middle class norm to always get a side and/or non water beverage with your meal? Especially if eating alone..? I don't ever remember getting a non water beverage growing up. Maybe we would get soda if the family got pizza
Yas-mean@whyyasss
@moultano This is my usual order and it’s not $28 but it is $23 if I pick it up, which I don’t think is bad. For me, that’s a cheap lunch unless I get Jersey Mike’s or something like that. I generally get chips and guacamole because I can’t eat Chipotle without chips 😭.

@Binchyyyy @SaadInCyber AKA your average American parent probably p90.

@nimbyest @SaadInCyber American kids wouldnt do that unless they had shitty parents who mainly fed them chicken nuggets and tenders as children

All you need to know about the great power competition bw US and China is that working age adult Americans are competing on who can eat most like a medieval peasant while China is essentially serving the equivalent of a 3 course meal to every middle school kid.

@axcilla These guys seem extremely frugal and know where their money goes. They will weather the recession better than most.

A 23-year-old couple is on track to retire within 15 years by following the FIRE playbook. They keep expenses extremely low and invest nearly all of their excess income into index funds every month. They’ve already invested $137,000.
